I guess we have four options or you can not do them. >> So, we have four options on the table. If you I would just prefer that you choose one and then we'll go from there. >> You obviously don't want to do them out here because it's cold, which is perfectly fine and understandable. Uh but as far as warmer locations, we have the Quick and Easy, which is close, and we also have the police department, which is close. >> I just don't feel like you guys are going to get a proper uh what is the word? gauge, per se. >> Okay. >> Right now, all we're doing >> right now, all we're doing is delaying. We're just giving you the option to basically prove that you're good to drive. Okay. And we're just trying to go from there. Okay. You said you've been drinking. I know you said that it was earlier, but I can smell alcohol coming off of you. I can smell coming out of the car, too. Okay. And I know that you said that it's probably from other people because you take other people different places, which I understand. and you dropped a coworker off here and then you were planning on going home. Okay. So, basically, we're giving you the opportunity to do the test. And if you don't want to do the test, then that's fine as well. Do you want to do the test or you don't want to do the test? I need an answer. >> I just I've I've made it to my destination where I'm supposed to be tonight.

So, basically going to have to deal with that whole situation when we get back. Hopefully, she's calmed down a little bit. >> All right. >> If you refuse to provide a breath sample, blood or urine, you'll be suspended. Your driver's license will be spinning for a year. Um, if you do provide a sample and it's over, it'll only be suspended for 6 months. >> So, um, when was our refusal? >> You haven't refused yet. Um, we got to wait 20 minutes and then I'm going to ask for a breath sample. At that point, if you refuse, then your driving crew should be singing for a year. >> I've explained this to you in so many ways. I don't know how else to explain it to you. Can you help me out? >> I'm reading it um a few reviews or >> are you are you going to sign this or not? Or else I'm just going to write refusal to sign. >> I'm still reading >> stuff. I have explained this to you several times. Okay. I I don't know how else I can explain it to you to make it any more simpler. Okay? If you've refused to fail, if you fail to complete this test, your lesson's going to be spent for a year. >> I'm not refusing anything. I just don't understand. So, what I've explained to you, >> can you possibly meet me in the middle here? >> There's no meeting in the middle. It's either you're going to do the test. >> I'm pulling up to >> Listen, it's very simple. Savannah, it's very simple. You either do the test or it's a refusal. >> This. >> Okay. >> That doesn't make any sense to me. You're either going to do the test or it's refusal >> because all out of the ordinary. >> Do you understand? >> Don't refuse a test. I got it. I could sign it, but you just signed it for me. >> No, we're not playing that game. >> Can you turn your fist down? >> You're not explaining anything to me. Apparently, you don't have the time to do so. >> It's going to appear or it's going to be refusal. >> Didn't you already mark it as refusal? >> No. That's refusal with a sign that it's more than ours. >> Okay. >> And then you're going to take the test. >> What happens if I refuse? >> I explained that to you. Your license will be spent for 12 months. >> Okay. >> If you do the test, it'll be six. It'll be 6 months. >> How can you revoke my license when you don't even know what's going on? Because I don't understand. >> No. Because >> And I literally just got your >> domestic relationship behavior >> and my adrenaline is boosting right now. >> Yeah. That's why. Thank you for asking. >> Okay. >> Thanks. >> So once again, you are here. He read >> my jacket, please. I don't care why I'm here. Can I have my jacket? >> I'll wait for the officer who arrested me to come back. >> Okay, fantastic. >> Can I have my jacket, please? I'm some criminal. No, there's nothing in my police jacket. I don't come to your work and tell you how to do your job. >> We could. Oh, and maybe I would better. >> Please do not tell me how to do mine. >> Hey everyone, it's Trent, prior deputy sheriff, patrol sergeant, and canine handler. So, this suspect is obviously thoroughly confused throughout the vast majority of this video. And I'm not entirely sure if that's due to her level of intoxication or she's just legitimately confused and feels that it's not being explained properly. It is notated in the officer's report that they later obtained her blood test results, which determined her BAC, blood alcohol content level, which is essentially the amount of alcohol she has in her system at the time of that test. And the suspect had a BAC of 0.102, which of course is above the legal limit of 08. Now, when it comes to DUI investigations, this is very common where law enforcement will stop somebody for an unrelated traffic offense. In this suspect's case, it's expired registration. And of course, by law, these officers are legally justified in investigating other potential crimes that they discover as a result of that unrelated traffic offense. And of course, the expired registration crime is a much lesser included offense with the DUI element. And when the suspect is questioning this officer about how he has the authority to arrest her for DUI, and he tells her it's based on his observations. So observations can mean a few different things. They could be driving obs, driving observations where law enforcement will observe a suspect all over the roadway swerving, maybe hitting something. Or there's other observations like this officer notates in his report for this suspect. Bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech, her admittance of the fact that she consumed alcohol earlier on in the evening, a strong odor of alcohol emitting from her person inside and outside of the vehicle. When she exited the vehicle to walk into the roadway to perform those FSTs, field sobriety test, the officer notated she was having difficulty maintaining her balance on the walk over. So those are additional observations that will get looked at when law enforcement is performing a DUI investigation. Very standard. And also the FST field sobriety test that the suspect refused at the end. Those are just another tool. That's another element that law enforcement will utilize to assist them in determining if somebody is impaired to the point where they are unable to safely operate a motor vehicle. And refusal of just that portion is not going to be the cause of arrest here. And after that arrest, by law, this suspect had to submit to a breath or blood test. But because of her refusal to do that, they had to write up a search warrant, have a judge sign off on it, and that's how they were able to pull a sample of the suspect's blood. And that's going to be it for this one. See you guys in the next one. >> She was charged with a traffic violation, DUI, and resisting peace officer, but remains innocent until proven guilty. [Music]
